The tab is rock solid on Froyo! Yes the stock lags at times but till date it had yet to crash or freeze...with Roto JMIv2 the thing flies!

Am absolutely in love with it and if I had the money I would buy another one...the 7 inch size and Froyo is darn good....I don't understand at all what the people who complain about Froyo being not optimized for tablet are talking about...!!! All apps I have loaded till date works great! I watch movies anime and tv show on this...my netbook is lying in storage since I got this and when on personal travel I shove the tab into the camera bag with the kindle and off I go...

Pop in a sim card and I can surf the net anywhere...much better than surfing on a tiny screen on a mobile phone...

Am never going to consider anything above 7 inch and without being SIM enabled.

I've had mine GT for about a month and really enjoy it. Easier to haul around than a Netbook, or in Ipad or Xoom even.

I had a Nook, but didn't like it as the screen was of cheap quality(the whites had a yellow tint to it(tried another, it was the same). The whites on the GT are WHITE no doubt about it. Build quality is very solid on the GT.

However, if you are on a budget, nook is fairly solid with the proper software roms.

But the GT is very solid and even with the release of the WIFI version only soon, it will bring even more users in the fold.

There is a lot of people holding off for the "Next best thing" but, honestly, I'd rather be playing and using something now, instead of waiting 6 months or so to play with something that May or May not kick ass.

Dive right in, the GT water is fine. :)

I believe Galaxy Tab is now the best 7" tablet in the market (Archos 70 is the second, IMO); both spec/performance-wise and build quality. The price is also coming down to a more acceptable level.

I don't see any new 7" model coming out in the near future. If you are looking for a portable table, Galaxy Tab won't disappoint you.
[Galaxy Tab General] Bigmille:
I had my Tab for 2 months now and couldn't be happier with it. I do have the Overcome ROM and over clocked to 1.2GHz so its not stock (512Mb RAM is a bit limited as only 200Mb is usable).

I did have a Dell Strek 5" and an ipad, sold both since I got the Tab. To me the size makes it very versatile, I can fit it into most of my jackets and cary it all day without any discomfort.

Also the only other 7" tablet is the Dell Streak 7 which has shorter battery life and poor screen viewing angle, both are deal breaker for me. Plus I'd prefer a device with more RAM than dual core CPU.

The HTC Flyer is not out yet, and will cost almost twice what the Tab is selling.

P.S. ASDA Direct is selling the Tab for £299.

[Galaxy Tab General] de5gravity:
well thanks for the answers! you guys still seem excited about it. and OMG I saw the overcome 1.4 video, FREAKIN RESPONSIVE I was like "omg i need one now"

sadly the deal I found is not up anymore so I cant seem to find one cheap enough...unless I wanna pay for the next 6 months :( (the link someone posted here is out of stock)
[Galaxy Tab General] paulshields:
SGT has had bad press and is severely underrated. I blame Samsung for positioning it at too high a price initially, and the tech press for comparing it directly with an iPad - which it is not. It's still the best small format tablet available and in the UK at least is a bargain at £299 or so. You'd pay a lot more for a lesser smartphone. Good thing is that Samsung seem to have finally woken up to this fact, and their next tablet releases look a lot more competitive price-wise. I'd still buy one now if I lost it though, purely due to how useful it is.
[Galaxy Tab General] olyloh6696:
At OP check out my thread, where you can find it damn cheap
[Galaxy Tab General] de5gravity:
Hey! Like I said it's out of stock, but thanks anyway
[Galaxy Tab General] Cyberguycpt:
I have had my Tab for a while now and I love it. If I were you I would look for one on craigslist and one made for Tmobile. I say Tmobile because wth them you can use the tab with out getting a contract. I have heard that the sprint and verizon tabs force u to activate there's. And the size to me is great, a 10 inch screen just seems to big, if I wanted one that size I would just get a netbook. I also have the keyboard for it and the media dock which works great. I bought the media dock and keyboard from verizon and they gave me a discount for buying two accesories at once, so I saved some money.
[Galaxy Tab General] de5gravity:
And once again I said I live in France. No craiglist and no Tmobile!

But I am looking into phone networks here.
[Galaxy Tab General] de5gravity:
Found it cheap on priceminister ! Yay!

Also one last question, of the ways to make it faster and more responsive, installing the custom rom Overcome is the only solution right? I got confused when reading the development threads...what else can one do?
[Galaxy Tab General] liviutatarus:
OCLF installs the market. 2240 points in quadrant.This course if you know what you're doing and take that risk.

Sorry for my english, google translate
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
OCLF is a waste of time if you are on an EXT4 ROM.

Personally, i'm not convinced it does much on RFS ROMs either, other than improve the incredibly flawed Quadrant benchmark scores.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
I still use mine all the time despite buying the xoom. Works best in the car and as alarm clock.
[Galaxy Tab General] de5gravity:
...I don't understand lol! I guess what I'm asking is, when I do get my galaxy tab, what should I do to make it faster? Install overcome on it? or do something else?
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
Install Overcome using this guide. It will convert the RFS file systems to EXT4 for you.

Dave

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chengjih:
Hi, is there a way to format the Internal SD of a Vibrant as ext4?

I'm running Team Whiskey's Bionix-V 1.3.1. The Internal SD mounts as vfat.

The main reason for asking is because BeyondPod stops working every day or two because of a read issue on a podcast file. The recommendation is to do a reformat on the SD.

(can't post a link because I'm a new user)

My thinking is that if I have to reformat Internal SD anyway, I might as well make it ext4.

Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chengjih:
Doesn't work well

I tried doing this over the weekend. This worked poorly, I think because vold on Froyo can't see ext4.

I was able to mount the internal SD over USB to my Linux box. After copying the files off the vfat partition, I reformatted it as ext4 (using tools on the Linux box).

vold.conf and vold.fstab were modified not to try to mount /mnt/sdcard, as it wasn't able to see ext4 anyway. I put in a file in /etc/init.d to run the "mount" command for /dev/block/mmcblck0p1 to /mnt/sdcard so as to do the manual mount.

Permissions were an issue; the vfat mount was effectively mode 777, and I tried doing a chmod on the ext4 filesystem to the same effect.

Some apps started to work better, but, the original purpose of the exercise -- to get BeyondPod to work on ext4 -- did not work out. The operating system didn't seem to know that the SD was mounted; in Settings, the OS kept thinking that the SD wasn't mounted at all (it probably knows through vold) and apps such as BeyondPod probably takes its cue from that, rather than looking to see if its files are present at the expected mount point. I'm sure other applications will have similar issues.

After I realized that Froyo was not going to recognize ext4 through vold, I rolled back to vfat. I guess I just have to wait for a Gingerbread on the Vibrant (e.g., CM7 finalizes for the Vibrant, or the recent 2.3.3 for the international Galaxy gets into Team Whiskey's hands).
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Any tutorials on how to extract the stock kernel in case I want to reinstall it later? I'd like to test out other kernels but I don't see any source for stock EC05 kernel only. With just a kernel update.zip I wouldn't have to reodin the phone to go back to stock and lose all my data.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Open the zip for the Di18 to EC05 update with winrar or 7zip, copy and paste the zImage into one of the zips for another kernel.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Don't see a zImage file in there. I did a full search in the zip.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
it might say boot.img.p

You would have to rename it zImage
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Found it.

So, just rename it zimage, open up ANY kernel zip file I have and replace the existing zimage file with this one?

Sounds too easy.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
I do it all the time, but make sure you name it zImage, not zimage.
[Epic 4G General] mkasick:
Sure, you can do it from a root shell (ConnectBot Local or "adb shell"):

su
cat /dev/block/bml7 > /sdcard/zImage

That's not actually a kernel image, but a binary diff.

I'm not sure what happens if one restores it to the kernel partition directly. I imagine it's quite likely the phone won't boot though.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Ahh yes, thanks. Here is the update.zip for the stock kernel for whoever needs it. Credit for the update script goes to nubecoder.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Thanks, that may have saved me from an hour of headaches.

I ran those commands from terminal emulator and it seemed to work. Now as I understand it, I can just use the update.zip file for any kernel I have and insert this zImage I just created in place of the one in the file.

Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] dangdang:
I tried cat /dev/block/bml7 > /sdcard/zImage. My zImage is 7.5MB :eek:

Is that right?
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Are you running stock EC05?

I attached an install zip of the stick EC05 kernel in post #8 of this thread. It's only 5.76 MB
[Epic 4G General] dangdang:
Yeah stock EC05. I odin'd to DI18 then applied the update zip for EC05. Did you get your zImage from the cat command?
[Epic 4G General] mkasick:
Yes, well, almost.

/dev/block/bml7 is actually the kernel partition. The kernel itself doesn't actually take up the entire partition, so everything beyond 5 MBish is junk.

If you knew the exact size of the EC05 stock kernel, you could truncate "/sdcard/zImage" to that size and it would be identical to the kernel as shipped in an Odinable tar file.

For backup purposes, the extra "junk" doesn't really matter. You can still flash the 7.5 MB "zImage" with Odin, Heimdall, or redbend_ua (which update.zips use) all the same.
[Epic 4G General] dangdang:
Ok that makes sense thanks. So 7.5MB is the largest kernel that can be compiled for our phones? Funny that sasmung left room for a bigger kernel but not a system partition.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
No, I extracted it from the ACS untouched EC05 here-

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1003447
[Epic 4G General] poit:
But....that rom didn't work. No data. Not sure I have confidence it that kernel.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
I don't think the issue was the kernel. That build had an issue updating the profile which in turn caused data to not function. But even if it doesn't work, you just flash one that does. No big deal.
[Epic 4G General] skeeterslint:
The kernel that is in the ota update zip is not a full kernel it is only a patch file.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
understood. But the extract code mentioned earlier seems to extract the full kernel from the phone .
[Epic 4G General] skeeterslint:
Yes that will pull the stock kernel.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Yeah I think that's what mkasick was trying to point out but thanks for the confirmation. The version I uploaded was from the ACS image.
[Epic 4G General] danielpat89:
I have an Evo and im kinda new to the epic. I tried to flash the Genocide kernel on my gf's epic, it its stock rooted (idk if thats deodexed or not) all i did was root it, its running complete stock EC05...so i flashed the genocide kernel and her phone wouldnt wake up after the screen shuts off etc, so do i just flash this stock kernel zip in recovery like a normal kernel? thats what i did and it works but now the phone wont recognize superuser permissions...any advice?

Hi everyone,

I have been reading on these forums and it seems like the developers have done a very nice job with custom roms(got to love opensource community).

I got a g-tablet and was wondering if it is possible upgrade the ram in the tablet. Let me know if anyone has opened there tablet up and have looked at the hardware inside and maybe post couple of pics of the layout of the hardware.

[G Tablet General] Pazzu510:
Kind of a repost; you just needed a ***bump***

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12108775

Anyway... Yes it is possible.

From what i have heard, g tab got two slots of ram and just used one with the 512kb. The problem here, like i posted 5 minutes ago, is that current roms dont support more ram than 512kb. Maybe with honeycomb release and its requirements we finally get the support for extra ram in our devices.

Cheer for the mods and lets wait a little longer for the honeycream AOSP and a port for g tablet.
[G Tablet General] The Old One:
It's not two slots of ram it's more like the x-box ram upgrade.
[G Tablet General] Dvalin21:
so does anyone have pics of what the ram actually looks like? And is it possible to purchase from the market?
[G Tablet General] h3llphyre:
It is *NOT* possible to upgrade the ram, period, end of story.

(yes, it's possible, but if you have to ask, you can't do it. extreme soldering skill required)

I know you've been asked a million times, but please help Ive been trying so many different roms that do not satisfy my needs and I can't find a full featured list of all the features of each rom. All I need in a rom is FULL FUNCTIONALITY of the phone itself (4g, front and rear cameras working, hdmi) with better battery life. Is there any rom that can do this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #Winning#:
I would recommend Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo or Calk's Evio Rom. The rom is part of the battery life, but the kernel does wonder's for battery life. As far as what kernel I would recommend Netarchy or Ziggy kernels. Personally I have always had better luck with Ziggy's. You can find Ziggy kernels here: www.ziggy471.com

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
What roms have you been trying?? Any rom I have flashed recently, be it AOSP or Sense, has everything working and is fully functional. I'm using SalvageMod at the moment, and front cam works, rear cam works, video recording works, gps, 4g, fullhdmi mirroring, phone calls, text messages, wifi, data, it charges, it discharges, the screen turns on, the screen turns off, etc. I don't know how much more fully functional it gets. And basically any sense rom will do that, and any up to date AOSP rom will as well. So what hasn't been working in the roms you've been trying out? I haven't found a less than fully functional rom in a good while, unless it's a port, then some things will be missing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] checkm8e:
The roms ive tried:

I tried CM7 but not the nightly build. I dont like the idea of an update coming out everyday for my phone. On the original CM7 I couldnt get the front camera to work on Yahoo!

Ive tried MIUI but this rom doesnt have front camera support (on Yahoo!) nor does it have 4g.

Those are the only two off the top of my head that I can remember that really stood out but lacked full functionality of the phone.

Thanks for your recommendations guys!

Clockwork has given me to much trouble and also annoying to back up all the time where as it takes forever, where as its backing up in titatanium back up frquently every day, and never have to worry about losing anything if i need to odin, wipe or what ever. :D

Clockwork has failed to restore properly and still gives me fcs that i occured before and after the nandroid restore.

i just got sick of it so i switched my back up method :D

[LG Optimus 2x] raf2k:
IMO the sound quality through earbuds is good. The bass is deep and treble is just OK. The stock music player has inbuild equalizer.

The sound quality is much better if I compare it with my other smartphones (HTC Legend, Samsung Omnia, SE Xperia 2)

I don‘t get it either, I come from a Desire and the speaker of the O2X is such an improvement! It is excellent! Also with headphones the sound is good and loud, the included ones aren‘t however.
